Resources

Clean, plentiful water supply is a critical necessity. Originating as snow melt in the Rocky Mountains, Louisville's water supply provides drinking water for residents and visitors, supports our economy and provides rich habitat for wildlife and enjoyable recreation within the community. Louisville obtains the majority of its water supply from South Boulder Creek as well as the Colorado and Fraser Rivers. To serve residents and businesses, the City has two water treatment plants with capacity to produce up to 13 million gallons per day.

Water in the semi-arid west is a precious resource, and drought is a continuous concern as the climate changes. Through partnerships, programs and resources, Louisville is committed to supporting efficiency and conservation and protecting water quality for our residents, businesses and wildlife populations.
